Autumn. Cold. October 6, 2014

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOOOOD.

Ah, so nice to be with one of my best friends! I love Elder Cueva. He is amazing.

This
week was full of meetings. We had district meeting, mission leadership
council (which is like.. 7.5 hours long!!), then district leaders
council, then 4 sessions of general conference. I am physically and
spiritually exhausted!! So not much to report on this week.

We
had an appointment fall through and so we started tracting the
neighborhood and we found a man named SUNNY! (2nd door we knocked on..)
Which is a great name for this time of year. haha. He let us in and had
his bible on his table! He has so much knowledge! One of the challenges
of teaching the restoration to someone with a firm faith is it's
difficult to show them how we aren't trying to destroy what they all
ready believe but show them how much is missing! People don't have the
Book of Mormon as a reference and it can be hard sometimes for them to
understand and embrace new scripture (all though it's not "new" it's
REALLY old.. but it's new to them). So I hope he knows how much we just
want him to find the truth for himself and that we're do not come to
destroy his current beliefs.. just to add to the faith he has all ready
gained!

We, as a mission, are having a 31 day
study of the atonement. I love it! We just started today and wow! it is
AMAZING! It is wonderful. I can't wait to share more with all of you
about my studies.
